AEI Capital Corporation

St. Paul, MN · Founded 1970 · aeifunds.com

Firm Overview

AEI is among the longest-tenured names in the net-lease 1031 space, tracing its lineage to 1970 and to what it describes as one of the earliest securitized fractional-ownership structures. The firm's franchise is built on debt-free, all-cash ownership of single-tenant retail, restaurant and healthcare properties leased to credit-quality operators—a conservative posture that strips refinancing and foreclosure risk out of the capital stack and has carried it through multiple real estate cycles. With decades of completed full-cycle programs behind it, AEI markets stability and longevity over scale or sector breadth, a profile that resonates with risk-averse exchangers prioritizing capital preservation over yield.
